Pressure Spray Made of Old Oilcan
Old Material Makes a Spray That Is as Good as the Manufactured Product, at Less Cost
In making a spraying outfit for garden use, or similar purposes, a 3 or 5-gal. kerosene can and tire pump may be satisfactorily employed. The latter is attached rigidly at the rear of the container with iron straps, as shown. A ball check valve is fitted in the top of the receptacle and connection is made between it and the pump with the pump hose. A 6-ft. length of ¹⁄₄-in. rubber tubing is wired to the drain cock. An 8-in. piece of ¹⁄₄-in. brass pipe is filed down and wired in the spray end of the hose to serve as a nozzle.—P. P. Avery, Garfield, N. J.
